Lady Evelyn Independent School
welcomes students from the Middle East

Study the British Curriculum from the Middle East

At Lady Evelyn Independent School, students are taught the highly respected British curriculum. Students are actively encouraged to develop their critical thinking, creativity and capacity for innovation. Thus, acquiring transferable skills that are sought after by top universities and companies from all over the globe. Students progress from Key Stage 1 through to Key Stage 5, including International GCSEs and International A Levels. We take students at Primary, Secondary and Sixth Form school levels.

Students progress from Key Stage 1 (Year 1) to Key Stage 5 (Year 13), including International GCSE and International A Levels.

At Lady Evelyn Independent School, students learn at their own computers with a headset and microphone and can interact directly with their British teachers and fellow pupils from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

Students can study from anywhere (from countries like Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Turkey, Syria, Yemen, Egypt, the UK and many more) while having access to their friendly teachers teaching the British curriculum.

Smaller Class Sizes. Personal Learning.

A 2015 OECD study “How Much Time Do Teachers Spend on Teaching and Non-teaching Activities?” found that on average across countries, teachers in traditional schools spend half of their working time in non-teaching activities. Moreover, keeping order in the classroom occupies an average of 13% of all teachers’ time across countries.

The absence of distractions or disruptions in an online school such as Lady Evelyn Independent School enables teachers to devote themselves entirely to teaching and learning. As a result, students spend less time in class and more time focussed.

Our aim is to couple academic excellence with morals and values of the highest standards.

Classes are taught live, online, by expert teachers who have passion for their subjects and are dedicated to helping every student succeed and get the top grades to be able to compete with the academically brightest students from around the globe.

Students can interact via the chat box and microphone. Teachers monitor student interaction and respond to questions to the whole class or privately to individual queries. The live classes are also recorded so students can catch up on missed classes, brush up on subject matters they found difficult and use these recordings to revise for exams.

We encourage tolerance and a genuine understanding of different faiths and beliefs. We expect all students to respect the multi-culturally diverse society in which they live.

Do I get Islamic holidays like Eid and the last few days of Ramadan off?

Yes. The days of trying to explain to your school why you need a holiday on either this day or the next for Eid are gone!

At Lady Evelyn Independent School, we follow private and independent school conventions for the number of academic study weeks in each year. Because this gives us some flexibility, we have holidays that give us some spiritual time at the end of Ramadan and for Eid to spend time with family and friends. This year’s Academic Calendar can be found here.

Can I see any sample classes?

Yes. You can see a sample history lesson by clicking here.

What happens if a student cannot attend a live class?

If a student is unable to attend a live class, his or her parent/guardian must inform the school via Parent Portal for it to be marked as an Authorised Absence. If this is not done, it will be marked as an Unauthorised Absence and will be recorded in the student’s file. In both cases, students are expected to watch the recording of the live class and submit the relevant homework on time.

What are the class sizes at Lady Evelyn Independent School?

Students are arranged into class tutor groups of up to a maximum of 19 pupils. At the secondary school level, classes are of two types: Lessons and Tutorials. In Lessons, lead teachers teach new subject matter to students in larger groups at the same time. Tutorials are conducted in smaller groups where there are class discussions, exercises, etc. to consolidate understanding of the new subject matter.
